Chapter 329: End of Season

On May 11, in the second leg of the Europa League semifinals, Manchester United hosted Celta Vigo.

Compared to the thrill of the Champions League semi-finals, this game was a bit uneventful...... Manchester United pressed their opponents all over the pitch as if they were playing against a lower-division team.

In the end, Manchester United won 3-0 at home to eliminate Celta Vigo 5-0 on aggregate and reach the final.

……

On May 14, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.

For this game, most people look at it with the mentality of watching the excitement, after all, there are only two rounds of league games left, and it is impossible for other teams to win the championship.

But the whole Chelsea team is behind Tottenham, as long as Tottenham wins, Chelsea will overtake Manchester United in the final stage.

However, Manchester United, who are aiming to win the championship, is in good shape as a team and does not give Tottenham any chance, even if Kane plays extraordinary, he only scores one goal for the team and loses 1-2 to Manchester United.

……

On May 17, Manchester United played the 28th round of the Premier League in the make-up match, away to Southampton.

Two days earlier, in the 28th round of Chelsea's recompensal tie, they had beaten Watford 4-3 to move a point clear of Manchester United in the table.

In this game, Manchester United played solidly, winning 3-0 at Southampton to return to the top of the table by two points, without giving Chelsea any chance to overtake them.

It is worth mentioning that the three goals in this game were scored by Shen Peng, so that his current total number of goals in the Premier League has reached thirty-nine, and as long as one more goal is scored in the last round, it can reach forty!

He has set a new Premier League record, and no one knows exactly what that number will be at the moment.

Soon, though, people found out.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on May 21, the final round of the 16-17 Premier League season, all teams started at the same time.

Of course, the most talked-about games are Manchester United's home game against Crystal Palace and Chelsea's home game against Sunderland.

After all, United are currently just two points ahead of Chelsea, and the results of those two games will determine the title.

Although many believe that with the current state of Manchester United, there will be no problem for Crystal Palace, but football is round and sometimes anything can happen, so the FA still came to Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge with two trophies respectively, and whoever wins the title will be able to get the trophy on their home turf first.

Forty-five minutes later, the scores of the two matches were: Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace; Chelsea 1:1 Sunderland.

Chelsea's management were the first to get the news of United's scoreline, leading 2-0 at half-time, and unless Palace scored three goals in a row in the second half, they could not allow United to score again, and they could finally overtake Manchester United if they won the game.

It's almost impossible.

So Conte was not in the mood for the game at all.

They were ahead for a time this season, but in the end they were caught up by Manchester United, giving him the feeling of "a busy season".

At half-time, he just said a few words and let the players rest themselves.

He really doesn't have much to say, although they are tied with Sunderland for the time being, but their stats and the situation on the pitch are all superior, and there is nothing to worry about.

From the start of the second half, Conte's mind was on United's side.

In the 69th minute, he heard the bad news again: Manchester United had scored again, and it was 3-0 Crystal Palace at this time.

Time slipped quietly and there was good news from Chelsea's side, who started the second half chasing two goals in quick succession, but United were firmly in control of the game and even if they beat Sunderland by 100 points, they could only get three league points.

In the 84th minute, Manchester United scored again, 4-0 Crystal Palace, completely killing the suspense of the game.

The fans at Old Trafford were already singing in celebration of the goal.

The Crystal Palace players also seemed to know the gap between themselves and Manchester United, so they lost their fighting spirit in the last few minutes, and both sides slowly calmed down.

Chelsea, although they are currently 5-1 ahead of Sunderland, this is the disadvantage of being behind on points, as long as United do not make mistakes themselves, they have no chance of overtaking each other.

At full-time, Manchester United celebrated their victory at home.

This season, Manchester United won the Premier League title with a record of 29 wins, 8 draws, 1 loss and 95 points, while Chelsea finished second with 30 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses and 93 points.

Overall, both teams have had a very good season, especially when it comes to winning the title until the final round.

The two teams have won a series of previous matches to show their strength.

Moreover, Manchester United have not lost since losing to Chelsea in the ninth round, maintaining a 29-game unbeaten run in the league!

Of course, they lost in the FA Cup, so they didn't achieve a 'unbeaten run in all competitions'.

Shen Peng also scored a brace in the last game, so his total number of goals this season has reached forty-one!

This made many people sigh that this record may only be broken by Shen Peng himself!

……

On the evening of May 24, at the Friendship Arena, in the Europa League final, Ajax played against Manchester United.

Ajax were clearly well prepared for the game, causing some problems for their players in the first 20 minutes, but then United adjusted and slowly took control of the situation on the pitch.

At the end of the first half, United took a 0-0 lead thanks to a goal from Paul Pogba.

In the second half, Manchester United did not rush to attack, but played steadily and defended steadily.

In the 55th and 71st minutes, United scored two more goals to win 3-0 and win the Europa League knockout round.

So far, they have won the Europa League, Premier League and League Cup this season, as well as the Community Shield at the start of the season, adding four new trophies to Manchester United and getting closer to the goal of 37 trophies.

Manchester United's season's games are all over, and the team has given the players a holiday.

Shen Peng did not rush to arrange a holiday, but stayed at the club to train with Rashford.

This was proposed by Rashford, and the relationship between the two has improved a lot since they started to practice together.

Shen Peng had no objection to this, so he stayed, anyway, the better they cooperated, the greater their contribution to the team, and the team will play in the Champions League next season, only by improving their strength as much as possible can they have more chances to win the championship.
